Self Care

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”
― audre lorde

As we end this week that has focused on the words of Audre Lorde, we offer this language of self care. What does it mean to care for your self?

To rest, to reflect, to slow down and breathe.

Lorde says it is an “act of political warfare.” for indeed, the corrupt machine of system racism and oppression does not want us rested, because then we are at full strength. It does not want us breathing deep, lengthening our joy and our lives. and for this reason, it is more important than ever, that we care for self. So we can continue to care for other and this revolution.

How do you care for self, how do you preserve your self in these times?

Do that. Today, tomorrow. We need you.
